The "Don't Be a Dick" Pledge
By signing this pledge, I promise that for the rest of my life, I will not be a dick. When you act like a dick, even though you pretend you don't realize it, deep down, you know you're being a dick. Yet you've decided to not play by the same rules as the rest of us. And that ain't cool. When you're a dick, you make life annoying for other people. You're the buzz kill. The party foul. The guy no one invited. And so, to be fair to everyone else, if you keep it up, we're gonna have to ask you to leave. By signing this pledge, I agree to never be that person again. And further, I pledge to speak up when someone else is being a dick. Because if I see someone else be a dick, and don't do my part to stop it, then by proxy, I'm also being a dick. A lot of the worlds problems could be solved if we all agreed to to stop being dicks. From stealing someone's parking spot, to starting wars, someone deciding to act like a dick is always what caused it. Not being dicks is our only shot at having a chill, happy, successful planet. There's no reason the world can't work for everybody. We're too smart for it not to. If no one acts like dicks, we'll get there much faster. We all have the right be free. We all have the right to believe what we want, say what we want, and do what we want... Only under one, very obvious condition. As long as what we do, say, and want does not hurt others. Does not take advantage of someone else, or cause them to be left with less than their fair share. It's simply the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And if you don't follow the Golden Rule, you are a dick. Pass this pledge on to your family, your friends, even your Congressmen. Because if you believe in this idea, but don't tell people about it, then you're kinda being a dick.
